    Plumlee is a very good dribbler for his size. That behind the back dribble near the hoop got him FTs. Which he missed.

    I didn't say he's a good FT shooter.

    Leonard will have the career of Babbitt. The shooting gig needs to be replaced by a conventional role of rebounding and defense.

    Meyers isn't too far ahead of JaVale McGee in terms of Bball IQ

    Can't believe Neil offered Meyers a "substantial contract" I swear, he's dodged several bullets by players not signing his offers.

    Leonard frustrates me more than other mediocre players because he has far more potential. He's way taller and should dominate at either forward or center.

    Montero is 1-1, Connie is all 0s. Both in about 1 minute.

    Neil did draft him in the 2nd round. Actually Neil has a terrific draft record. Even his 2nd rounders are pretty impressive considering the value (Deandre Jordan, Crabbe, Barton)

    And although I do love Crabbe, Ed Davis has been pretty impressive as well and he was a FA pickup

    Luis went 2-2 in about a minute of play. His PER is gonna skyrocket!

    I like Ed and Aminu as backups, but Crabbe is a legit starting quality player. He's pretty good on both ends.

    Yes, I'm done with him. He's teased on and off with some games...he's not utter trash like he was his 2nd year, but I don't even like him as a backup. He's a minimum wage backup on a crappy team. He should go play for the 76ers.

    Meyers annoys me when he fails to win a rebound going against point guards. I remember him letting Payton get a board and also Dragic during this road trip. Gawd, he needs to learn how to grab boards. Maybe it's his T-Rex arms that are holding him back in this area.

    I missed the first 5/8 of the game, but it looks like the Hawks felt sorry for us. Only when I started watching did they get a dependable lead. I'm a jinx.

    Or maybe it was us not them. We put up a heroic, valiant struggle. Till I showed up.

    Also, this thread collapsed when I appeared. Many coincidences tonight.

    some guys go after rebounds, others wait for rebounds to fall in their hands...Meyers is from the second camp
